FORSAKEN

FORSAKEN- saga of  unheard heroes

Amidst chaos by this Pandemic blow
Rise a cry of the common man who are valued low
Left jobless homeless with endless woes
Not that they are unaware of their rights
All of which could have given to them otherwise
Needless to say the lofty promises were all lies
Without wasting their time to heedless cries

Firm footed, deeply rooted
Set for a journey back home
In the hope of comfort, relief, their very own
Who could imagine their belief
Could push them climb a cliff
Nor that the perils were unknown
Yet their courage got supremely manifold
Together they could battle the odds
United they confront prolonged walk
For days and night without food, they shed their fright-
While few succumbed falling to deadly plight
many embraced the apathies with might
No wonder it was a joyous return
Donning the badge of  victory to rejoice
Still what remained were the scars of being forsaken
